Van Hien University is developing along 3 strategic pillars: integrated governance, internal research capacity, and quality transformation — oriented toward international educational standards.
Van Hien University and its journey toward modern educational standards
In an ever-evolving educational landscape, Van Hien University (VHU) is steadily reaffirming its position through a development strategy built on 3 core pillars.
Notably, an exchange and working visit to Ton Duc Thang University - an institution recognized for its modern university governance model and standardized operational systems - provided many practical insights. This visit also served as a basis for VHU to benchmark and refine its development strategy toward a more structured approach that converges with international standards.

One of the standout highlights is the integrated governance model, which establishes close coordination between academic affairs, student services, and parent engagements.
Through the working session, VHU had the opportunity to learn how to build a governance system that is digitalized, transparent, and synchronized across departments. These insights help VHU more clearly define a governance model aligned with its long-term development directions.
Internal research capacity - Lever to elevate academic standing
In parallel with governance, Van Hien University places strong emphasis on developing its internal research capacity to enhance educational quality and academic reputation.
Gaining exposure to the research environment at Ton Duc Thang University - a place that prioritizes international publications and the development of strong research groups - has reinforced VHU's direction of promoting publications in systems such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS).
Quality transformation - From knowledge to practical competency
NVHU affirms that educational quality lies not only in knowledge, but also in the ability to apply it. For this reason, the integration of scientific research into teaching has been vigorously implemented, helping students develop critical thinking and practical skills.
